The one-to-one dog behaviour support service is designed to provide personalised, ongoing guidance to dog owners addressing a wide range of behavioural challenges. Whether you’re dealing with aggression, anxiety, or socialisation issues, this service ensures that you have access to expert advice tailored specifically to your dog’s needs until the issue is resolved.
This service is ideal for dog owners who are experiencing behavioural challenges with their dogs, such as:
I’ve been working with dogs for over 25 years, and my methods have consistently delivered exceptional results, often surpassing those of other trainers and behaviourists. Below, I’ll explain the origins of my approach, why it’s so effective, and how it aligns with both practical experience and scientific understanding.
My journey began many years ago when I decided to focus on understanding dogs as individuals. Rather than imposing rigid training techniques, I observed their emotions and behaviours closely. Through this, I discovered that dogs thrive when they feel safe, respected, and valued. They are not merely pets to be controlled but intelligent, emotional beings eager to form a cooperative partnership with their human companions. This realisation shaped my philosophy: building a relationship based on trust and mutual respect is the cornerstone of effective training.
I found that dogs respond best to positive reinforcement, particularly praise, which fosters a genuine desire to learn and engage. By treating dogs with kindness and ensuring they feel secure, I unlocked their willingness to work as part of a team.
The success of my approach stems from several key factors:
Since my early days, I’ve formalised my knowledge by qualifying in canine psychology, behaviour, reactivity, anxiety and communication. These studies have provided a scientific framework to explain why my intuitive methods work so well. For instance, research in canine cognition shows that dogs are highly attuned to human social cues and thrive in environments where they feel secure. Positive reinforcement has been proven to enhance learning and reduce stress, while punishment-based methods can increase anxiety and hinder progress.
Understanding the science behind dog behaviour has refined my techniques, but my core approach remains largely unchanged from 25 years ago. The combination of practical experience and scientific insight allows me to achieve results faster than many other trainers, who may rely on outdated or less empathetic methods.
Traditional dog training often stems from older, dominance-based theories that view dogs as pack animals requiring strict control. While these methods can yield results, they often overlook the emotional and psychological needs of the dog, leading to slower progress or behavioural issues down the line.
Many training programmes still emphasise standardised techniques over individualised, relationship-based approaches. Additionally, the field of canine psychology is relatively new, and not all trainers have access to or prioritise education in this area. My approach, which blends intuitive communication, emotional intelligence, and scientific principles, requires a deep understanding of dogs as sentient beings - a perspective that is only now gaining traction in the broader training community.
My journey with dogs has been one of constant learning and refinement. While my methods have evolved with scientific knowledge, the heart of my approach - treating dogs with kindness, understanding their emotions, and building strong relationships - remains the same. This philosophy not only delivers rapid, lasting results but also enriches the lives of both dogs and their owners. I’m grateful for the opportunity to share this approach and continue helping dogs and their humans thrive together.
Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of dogs overcome reactivity, lead-pulling, barking, jumping, anxiety, and recall issues. Every one is now happy, healthy, and thriving, running in parks, greeting others, or relaxing at home. Their owners are overjoyed, saying it’s saved them months of frustration and brought real results.
Here’s why it works:
Online consultations are highly effective when there is active collaboration between the dog owner and the behaviour specialist. Your involvement plays a crucial role in ensuring the success of the training process.

What if I feel I can’t train my dog?
Don’t worry! It’s common to feel it’s too difficult, especially when facing challenging behaviours. That’s why this service is designed to guide you every step of the way. You’ll receive a customised rehabilitation training plan, ongoing support via messaging and calls, and up to four progression updates as your dog improves. The key is collaboration—you’re not alone in this journey.
How quickly can I expect results?
Every dog is unique, and progress depends on factors such as the dog’s temperament, the severity of the behaviour, and consistency in following the plan. While some issues may show improvement within weeks, others might require more time and dedication.
What if I can’t use WhatsApp or Messenger for video submissions?
While these platforms are preferred for their ease of use, alternative arrangements can be made to suit your needs. Just let me know, and we’ll work together to find a solution.
Do I need to commit to in-person sessions?
Not necessarily. Many issues can be addressed effectively through video submissions and online consultations. However, if needed, in-person sessions are available for a more hands-on approach.
How do I know if this service is right for my dog?
This service is ideal for any dog owner facing behavioural challenges. Whether it’s aggression, anxiety, or something else, the tailored approach ensures that the plan fits your dog’s specific needs. The free initial call is a great opportunity to discuss your concerns and explore how I can help.
What if I can’t maintain a consistent routine?
Routines are important for your dog’s progress, but life happens, and flexibility is key. We can work together to adjust the plan to fit your lifestyle while maintaining the structure your dog needs to succeed.
How much time do I need to dedicate each day?
While daily time requirements can vary, most plans involve short, focused training sessions (10-15 minutes) and consistent routines like walks and feeding. I’ll help you integrate these into your schedule without it feeling overwhelming.
What if my dog doesn’t respond to the routine?
Every dog is different, and it’s okay if progress feels slow. If something isn’t working, I’ll adapt the plan to better suit your dog’s needs and ensure they’re set up for success.
What is my role in the training process?
Your role is vital to your dog’s success. Consistently following the plan, observing your dog’s behaviour, and providing feedback are all key components of the process. Collaboration ensures the training plan evolves with your dog’s progress.
What if I miss a training session?
Missing a session occasionally won’t derail your dog’s progress. However, consistency is important, so try to resume the routine as soon as possible. I’m here to support you in staying on track.
How do I stay motivated through setbacks?
Setbacks are a normal part of the process. Focusing on small wins, celebrating progress, and maintaining regular communication with your trainer can help keep you motivated and on course.
